Use the second caliber overlay on top; quickly there is a definitive score.A good idea, but not practical because the overlay will be too large, so how would one carry it?

Would fit on a standard USPSA style plastic overlay easily. Still easy to carry.

I have sat and waited up to 15 minutes while some clown shooting in A Class at an IPSC match argued over a Charlie vs an Alpha on one target. Over the course of the match three or four guys caused the overlay to be called into action. I quit IPSC for a few reasons, one of which was the constant nagging on scored targets. Nine years of working the WA State match and I doubt I have spent three minutes in total, re-assessing scored targets. That said the shooters at that match are consistently among the best group of guys I have had the pleasure of working with. If I have a doubt it goes to the shooter. IMHO we don't need overlays in this sport. The only problem with one second per down 1 and three seconds for down three is it it a lot like Action Shooting International the other action shooting sport.Take CareBob
